Hi everyone

i finally joined the message boards after lurking for about a year now. I planned my first trip to Jamiaca this past April with my sister and travelled around to Negril , Ochi, Kingston and Mobay as I wanted to see several parts of the country. I have grown up in Toronto with many Jamaican friends and I was so excited to finally get to experience the food, music, and overall expereince that I had heard so much about for many years. I had an incredible experience everywhere I went and it was even better then what I had expected. We travel by local transporation and met so many kind and wonderful people. Although I had a great time everywhere I went I could not get Negril out of my mind as I travelled around. I yearned to go back and at times really thought about doing so. When I returned home from that first trip I spent so much time talking about Negril that my friends said they needed to go back with me. Of course I had no arguments with this and went ahead with booking another trip but this time it would be just to Negril. I just returned Sunday from my second trip to Negril this year I was there with two friends from November 17th to 27th and got to celebrate my birthday there which was a dream come true. I would like to thank all of the boardies for all of their insight and helpful tips that made this past t so trip so incredible. I will also do my best to give a full trip report as soon as possible. So excited to be the newest member of this lovely boardie community.
